A man has been detained in Gujarat’s Dahod Lok Sabha constituency for allegedly engaging in bogus voting. The incident came to light when the man, identified as Vijay Bhabhor, live-streamed his actions from inside a poll booth on Instagram.
Bhabhor is accused of impersonating other voters and casting votes on their behalf. The Congress party has alleged that Bhabhor is the son of a local BJP leader and has accused him of ‘insulting democracy’.
The incident is being investigated by authorities, and two persons have been detained.
According to officials, Bhabhor went to the poll booth in Parthampur village of Mahisagar district and live-streamed his actions for a few minutes. During this time, he allegedly cast votes on behalf of two other electors.
The incident has drawn criticism from the Congress party, which has demanded action against those involved. The Election Commission has also taken note of the incident and is investigating the matter.
Bogus voting is a serious offense and can undermine the integrity of the electoral process. It is important that such incidents are thoroughly investigated and appropriate action is taken against those responsible.
